(54) Biometric-based systems and methods for identity verification


(57) Biometric-based systems and corresponding methods for identity verification are disclosed herein. A security system in accordance with one embodiment of the invention can include an audio input module configured to receive and digitize a spoken utterance from a person and a video input module configured to receive multiple digital images of at least a portion of the person at least approximately contemporaneously with receiving the spoken utterance from the person. The security system can also include a first data processing module configured to receive the digitized spoken utterance and digital images of the person and correlate them together to form a biometric template for the person. The security system further includes a memory storing prerecorded audio and video data as individual templates of individual people and a second data processing module configured to receive the biometric template and compare it for a match with one of the stored templates of audio and video data.
